A grand Rose, and could every one who reads this, step into our house a little later" in the season and seethe parent plant from which we take thousands of cut- tings every year, it would, I know be a rich treat: dur- ing the la"st three years, we have taken nearly 10,000 buds, one year, 3,008. It is about eleven years old, and to-day is just as thrifty and healthy as ever it was, it-is our pet. Beautiful golden yellowj does well South in many places as a Trellis Rose. Under glass it is with- out doubt the finest Rose grown of its kind. Immense buds, double, where you have the little greenhouse or other necessary requisites, this is the Rose of all others you will want.
